Graduated Tax Petition

We, the undersigned, oppose the Democrats' Graduated Income Tax proposal. Under current Illinois law, the individual income tax rate will be 3.75 percent in 2015. Under a new plan, however, a higher 4 percent rate kicks in for people earning just $18,000. That income tax rate targets Illinois’ working class.

I prefer the flat tax, simply because it is fair for all. I know the “rich” have more disposable resources and can afford to pay more, but that is not the point. Do I understand correctly that in 2011 a “temporary” tax increase was enacted (SB 2505 2010)? The individual tax rate went from 3% to 5% and the corporate rate went from 4.8% to 7%. If nothing is done the rates will revert to former levels in 2016. When did the 3.75% individual rate become law?

I totally oppose the graduated tax proposal. This is just another money grab by the Democraps.
